Microsoft's Remix3D.com 3D sharing network is now live

At today's New York event, Microsoft revealed Remix3D.com - a website dedicated to sharing 3D creations.

Microsoft debuted a raft of 3D applications at their New York event today, including Paint 3D and an app that allows you to scan real world objects from a smartphone camera.

To catalog these creations, Microsoft has put together a website called Remix3D.com, that not only allows you to show off your 3D models, but also export them to a 3D printer to bring them into the physical world.

As of writing, the website is only available to Microsoft Accounts in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.

Remix3D catalogs 3D creations in a Pinterest-style grid, allowing users to share video embeds of the objects directly to Facebook and other social networks. We were able to create the following Microsoft keyring using the 3D Builder app currently offered in Windows 10 if you want to try it out.

Interestingly, users will also be able to export Minecraft creations directly from the game into the website for sharing and printing. Remix3D will also be able to pull content straight from Microsoft Edge on HoloLens into augmented reality.

Microsoft is pushing 3D in a big way, and HoloLens is undoubtedly the reason. Stay tuned for more.

I am a developer based in Beijing, China. I have ALL my accounts set to US location and US English language. Yet it won't let me sign in saying I need to have location set to US, UK, Canada, Australia or New Zealand. Sounds like a software problem to me.

I hope there are filters to separate legit 3D models and all of the user-submitted creations, because I'm sure it will soon be crowded with a bunch of mistakenly (or purposefully) submitted low-quality 3D models .

It's a US based company, so everything likely starts out in English. I'm sure once they get the kinks worked out, they will translate their pages/apps and start rolling it out to other countries. They probably didn't want to wait for that to release it, so nobody else released something like it English only, and beat them to it. It makes sense to do it this way, and like I said, I'm sure it will spread from here.
